In My Shoes: Kindergarten – friend or foe?

04.09.11

This is the interest I've been waiting for, isn't it? Kindergarten is right around the corner for my son, Sam .

Authorization!

It has seemed like a mirage on the vast horizon for six-addition years. I never really thought this day would ever arrive, unbiased as I was sure Sam would stay an infant forever.

I decent couldn't fathom that the little bundle of joy would evolve into a rambunctious boy who uses words like "technically," is obsessed with Legos and knows the two "Star Wars" trilogies far better than I do. (Gravely, who is this Darth Maul person, anyway?) Now he's old enough to have smelly socks and bad breath, a pet no more, a boy ready to climb onto the big yellow school bus Tuesday morning.

So if this is what I've been looking transmit to for so long, then why do I tear up when even thinking about it? I know, I be aware — there is a tangle of emotions involved, markedly for a stay-at-home mother with one child to get, mother and smother, as the case may be.
